Nonsmokers' rights. A public health issue
Authors: G. E. Greene
Journal: JAMA (1978)

IN 1964, the Surgeon General of the United States reported that tobacco smoke could be harmful to the smoker. Since then, the proportion of adults who smoke cigarettes has decreased. In 1975, thirty-four percent of persons 20 years of age or older smoked cigarettes.<sup>1</sup>The percentage of physicians, dentists, and pharmacists who smoke has also decreased.<sup>2</sup>Recently, the nonsmoking majority has been asserting its right to breathe smoke-free air. This has resulted in numerous laws to restrict smoking in public places. <h3>The Howard County Experience</h3> One law, known as the<i>Howard County Indoor Clean Air Act of 1977</i>, requires restaurants, stores, offices, and many other public places in Howard County, Md, to provide separate areas for smokers and nonsmokers, or, if the business chooses, to prohibit smoking altogether. Diplomacy and tact were important in the presentation of evidence to the Council of Howard County, because one of the

This comes at a time when more teachers of internal medicine have been urging changes in residency training because they believe that programs that emphasize the care of critically ill patients are overzealous and incomplete. Critics have urged that internal medicine trainees should spend more time in clinics, physicians' offices, and community hospitals, where the patients are less severely ill, more communicative, and need less expensive, invasive, and highly technological testing and treatment (2)....References1.

Dr Susan Love's Breast Book
Authors: Sylvia M. Ramos
Journal: JAMA (1991)

<i>Dr Susan Love's Breast Book</i>is a serious book aimed at the layperson. The health professional, however, will find much of interest in its 455 pages. The author takes the reader through the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and care of the breast in a manner that is chatty and friendly, as well as organized and professional. One can see that Dr Love is very comfortable with the science and art of breast care. The book has six parts, including "The Healthy Breast," "Common Problems of the Breast," "Risk, Prevention, and Detection of Breast Cancer," "Treating Breast Cancer," and "Living With Breast Cancer." Additionally, there are appendixes that, among other subjects, have information on drugs used in cancer therapy, lowering the fat content in one's diet, additional reading materials, and support organizations for breast cancer patients. The first part discusses the development of breast tissue, self-examination, and plastic surgery issues. Overall, it
Caring for the wounded in wartime
Authors: R. O. Egeberg
Journal: JAMA (1990)

The sudden occupation of Kuwait by Iraq and the deployment of American troops to the Persian Gulf bring into focus the question, How well prepared are our medical corps for a potential war in that region? For an informed appraisal, I discussed this question with Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Enriques Mendez, MD; Edward Martin, MD, his deputy; and William Mayer, MD, the previous assistant secretary. We now have in the Gulf, within 3 weeks of the time they were requested, two 1000-bed hospital ships, equipped as well as or better than our best civilian hospitals; each has 12 operating rooms ready for all emergencies. Their staff members were obtained by taking virtually the entire staffs of the Bethesda, Md, National Naval Medical Center and the Oak Knoll, Calif, Naval Medical Center and, within a few hours, putting them aboard these two hospital ships. The absent personnel were

Investigations on the Lung and Kidney Function in Workers Exposed to Cadmium
Authors: Robert R. Lauwerys, Harry A. Roels, Jean-Pierre Buchet, Alfred Bernard, Dan Stanescu
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1979)

The kidney seems more sensitive to the chronic effect of cadmium than the lung. Only minor impairments of lung function (mild form of obstructive lung disease) were found after long-term occupational exposure (less than 20 yr) to moderate concentration of cadmium oxide dust and fume. This conclusion, cannot, however be extrapolated to acute or subacute inhalational exposure. The nephrotoxicity of cadmium consists in a tubular dysfunction characterized by an increased excretion of beta 2-microglobulin and giving rise to the classical tubular proteinuria and in a glomerular dysfunction evidenced by an increased excretion of high molecular weight proteins and increased levels of beta 2-microglobulin and creatinine in plasma and giving rise to a glomerular type proteinuria. These renal changes were mainly found in workers whose cadmium concentration at time of the survey exceeded 1 microgram Cd/100 ml in blood and 10 microgram Cd/g creatinine in urine. It should, however, be stressed that higher levels of Cd in blood and in urine are not necessarily associated with the presence of excessive proteinuria. In newly exposed workers, the Cd level in blood increases progressively to a plateau after several weeks. Cadmium level in urine fluctuates more. In workers exposed for several months to an airborne concentration exceeding 200 microgram/m3, Cd concentration in urine seems mainly influenced by recent exposure.
Pattern of Stress Protein Expression in Human Lung Cell-Line A549 after Short- or Long-Term Exposure to Cadmium
Authors: Francoise Croute, Bernadette Beau, Christine Arrabit, Yolande Gaubin, Florence Delmas, Jean-Claude Murat, Jean-Pierre Soleilhavoup
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2000)

Exposure to cadmium is associated with the development of pulmonary damage such as emphysema and lung cancer. This metal is also a powerful inducer of stress proteins in many biologic models. The present study was undertaken to evaluate whether an overexpression of the heat shock protein (hsp)72 stress protein, which indicates repair of damaged proteins, could be a sensitive and early biomarker of environmental pollution by Cd. In comparative studies, we examined the effects of exposure to Cd (as CdCl(2)) on the growth rate of the A549 pulmonary cell line, and (by Western blot analyses) on the induction of the hsp72 stress protein and metallothioneins (MTs). CdCl(2) exposure was studied for periods of 2 hr to 1 month. For short-term exposure (2-6 hr) to Cd concentrations higher than 50 microM, an overexpression of hsp72 appeared 6 hr later, suggesting that hsp72 might be considered an early biomarker of acute exposure to Cd. For exposures lasting more than 4 days, lower doses of Cd (0.1-10 microM) similar to levels encountered in occupational exposure induced a significant increase of the hsp72 level. Because the increase of hsp72 occurs for doses that did not affect cell proliferation, our work supports the idea that its overexpression might be used as a sensitive indicator of occupational exposure to Cd. However, increased resistance to Cd appeared in A549 cells exposed for 1 month and overexpression of hsp72 disappeared simultaneously. It is possible that, in vivo, cell adaptation also occurs throughout chronic exposure to Cd, with a decrease of hsp induction as a consequence. A dose-related increase of MTs was found after 4 days of exposure to Cd concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 10 microM without change of overexpression during chronic exposure, suggesting that MT expression could be a more constant indicator of Cd pollution. Because 0.1 microM Cd (11 microg/L) induces hsp72 expression, showing the presence of damaged proteins, our work suggests that the maximum allowable biologic exposure limit should be lowered.

Ditiocarb sodium (diethyldithiocarbamate) therapy in patients with symptomatic HIV infection and AIDS. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study
Authors: E. M. Hersh
Journal: JAMA (1991)

We randomized 389 symptomatic patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to ditiocarb sodium (400 mg/m<sup>2</sup>orally for 24 weeks) or a placebo. Patients were well balanced according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) group, CD4<sup>+</sup>cell number, and duration of disease prior to entry. Ten new acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)—defining opportunistic infections occurred in the treated patients and 21 in the controls. Reduction of new opportunistic infections in the ditiocarb group was significant in all patients (relative risk [RR], 0.44) and in patients with AIDS (CDC groups IV-C1 and IV-D) (RR, 0.12). The size of the effect of ditiocarb was maintained when data were reanalyzed after exclusion of a patient who progressed to<i>Pneumocystis carinii</i>pneumonia who was not strictly CDC-defined (RR, 0.46), or when considering as new opportunistic infections three events, which were clinically active at entry, but for which the definitive diagnosis was made during study (RR, 0.49). The administration of ditiocarb did not induce any major adverse clinical or biological reactions. We conclude that, in this study, ditiocarb was safe and reduced the incidence of opportunistic infections in patients with symptomatic HIV infection. (<i>JAMA</i>. 1991;265:1538-1544)
Should donor blood be screened for elevated alanine aminotransferase levels? A cost-effectiveness analysis
Authors: M. D. Silverstein
Journal: JAMA (1984)

We examined the cost-effectiveness of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) screening of donor blood to prevent non-A, non-B posttransfusion hepatitis. Based on estimated costs of ALT screening, blood replacement, and medical evaluation of donors with high ALT levels, we concluded that screening at an ALT level of 45 IU would cost $3.82 per unit. In a population requiring an average of 3.7 units per transfusion, one case of hepatitis would be prevented for every 115 units screened, resulting in a cost of $439 per case prevented. With an estimated direct medical cost of $1,181 per case of non-A, non-B hepatitis, expected net savings for each case prevented would be $742. Screening at other ALT thresholds would be less cost-saving. Sensitivity analyses indicate that screening would be cost-saving for a wide range of cost estimates and number of units per transfusion. Alanine aminotransferase screening is warranted until more sensitive and specific screening tests for transmissibility of non-A, non-B hepatitis become available. (<i>JAMA</i>1984;252:2839-2845)

Predictors of relapse in major depressive disorder
Authors: M. B. Keller
Journal: JAMA (1983)

Risk of relapse into an affective episode was high in the months immediately after recovery from a major depressive disorder (MDD) in 141 subjects with nonbipolar depression, without a preexisting dysthymic disorder. The probability of relapse then declined steadily during the duration of the follow-up (median follow-up, 62 weeks from recovery). In patients entering the study during their first affective episode, the Research Diagnostic Criteria secondary subtype of MDD and an older age of onset predicted a significantly greater likelihood of relapse. Three or more prior episodes of depression predicted a significantly shorter time to the first and second prospectively observed relapses and, thus, a significantly greater likelihood of subsequent multiple affective episodes.
